Document Summary
Force is a vector quantity the effect of force depends on both its magnitude (strength), and its direction. What really matters is the net force. The net force is what you get when all the forces are properly combined. The net force takes into account both how strong the forces are and in what direction they act. The net force determines the acceleration of the object. Newton"s second law to change the velocity of an object, a net force must be applied to it (a push or a pull) Contact vs. non-contact forces: non-contact forces = electric forces, magnetic forces, gravity whereas contact forces actually touches the objects (pushes, pulls, friction, and tension. *example of the tennis ball on the string, and professor merlino walking with it. It is the law in which explains how things move dynamics. If a net force is applied to an object, it will accelerate change its velocity.
